What festival was that? I would have loved to be there. :wacky:

^ They both played Main Square Festival and Austin City Limits in 2011 but not on the same day.

 

edit: And Austin City Limits in 2005 (same day, 25 September) and Coachella in 2005 (not on the same day).

Q. Did the band enjoy the concert in Turin last week? I was in the crowd and I sang out loud all the songs (even A warning sign, which I love but I think was sung by me and few others in the stadium). Maybe the band had thought we was a shitty crowd in Italy and maybe we was, but I did my best to make the band feel that I love COLDPLAY MUSIC, from Parachutes to Mylo Xyloto, and a lot of other Italians do. So, please, can you tell me if we was worse than other gigs?

 

Thanks

 

 

The Oracle replies:

 

Au contraire Michele, you were a great crowd!

I also have it on good authority from Anchorman that Turin's crowd were far more lively than Nice's (sorry, France - you need to up your game!)

Q. Dear Oracle, I have two questions for you.

1. I read on internet (I don't remember where) that Guy was the Coldplay singer before Chris. Is this true? Didn't Chris joined Coldplay before Guy?

 

2. On Instagram, there is someone who's calling himself "officialcoldplay". It's a fake, isn't it?

 

Thank you,

an Italian coldplayer/xylobryte.

 

Ps: The concert in Turin was amazing!

 

 

The Oracle replies:

 

1. No, it's not true. Yes, Chris 'joined' Coldplay before Guy. Well, Chris didn't join as he started the band in the first place.

2. Yes, it is. There isn't an official Coldplay instagram account.

Q. Dear Oracle

 

I have some really nice shots from yesterday's show in Zurich and want to share them with you and all the fans. But how?

 

Love

Sarah

 

 

The Oracle replies:

 

You can share them by uploading them to our Live Transmissions section on this very website. Look forward to seeing them!

Q. What's the chances of Politik being added to the playlist for tonight. Bring it on Coventry!!!!!

 

 

The Oracle replies:

 

Not a chance at all Nate - if I may call you that.

Will replied to the question in the recent twitter chat of why it's been dropped from the set and his response was, "To use a football analogy, it's played 10 seasons in a row and it needs a rest".

Q. Hi Oracle,

I just watched the Hurts Like Heaven video from the European Stadiums (seeing them in Manchester on the 9th June) and noticed all the lasers. I was wondering, that with the stadiums being roofless, is there any problem with the lasers hitting low flying aircraft and such?

Thanks!

 

 

The Oracle replies:

 

That's a very good question Thomas and a subject I was talking about in detail last week in fact.

Lasers obviously do come with certain risks so there are stringent safety rules and regulations in place - they can't beam over a certain height if there's a risk to aviation. The same goes for beaming below the heads of the audience to protect them also. The lasers are all perfectly harmless at our shows.

Enjoy Manchester!

Q. Hi! Coming along to The Emirates on Monday - worried about being able to catch last train home.... are timings such that we will be able to leave the stadium and get to Central London stations by 11.30?

 

 

The Oracle replies:

 

I have tried to answer this a few times so Anchorman very kindly helped me out and announced all the timings for the UK shows. Please refer to that and you will be able to work out your individual journey needs accordingly.

Q. Hello Oracle,

 

Last night, I was at the Coventry concert, and may I just say, the boys absolutely rocked it! What an awesome gig! After seeing some of the Oracle's questions about Nice not being a good crowd, I hope we were good enough for you!

 

Thankyou guys very much, I would happily come and watch you again tonight!

 

Love

Tom

 

 

The Oracle replies:

 

Er, there was ONE question that I mentioned the Nice crowd and I didn't say they weren't a good crowd. I was there and they were great! All I said that Turin's crowd was apparently better.

Last night you were "incredible" so said Chris via their twitter page.

Q. Hi Oracle!

I'm totally nervous about the gig on this friday at Emirates Stadium. It's the very first concert to me, but something's a bit complicating. I just can't understand how and where should I queue...

I carefully read all terms on my ticket, but the only thing i've recognized, is that my ticket belongs to Turnstilles R Clock End.

Still, whatever I've noticed, there's so many direction of queue that I cannot choose one.

In Short, HELP ME!

 

 

The Oracle replies:

 

There will be plenty of stewards to ask when you get there so don't worry - someone will point you in the right direction if you can't find the right sign.

Q. Hi,Oracle.

I want to ask that which song Chris Martin sings

?

I can't know the name of this funny song.

Thanks.

 

 

The Oracle replies:

 

It has no name as it's not anything. It's just an on the spot "jam" to sing happy birthday to Jonny. Chris is making it up as he goes along.

Good find so thanks for sending it!

Nijmegen!

May 31, 2012 - submitted by Sarah, United KingdomQ. Hello O Mighty Oracle, I'm going to the Emirates concert on the 2nd, but was wondering if Anchorman will be taking panoramas of all three London shows or just the one on the 1st?

 

Very excited!

 

The Oracle replies:It's not Anchorman who takes the photos. He posts them but it's Roadie #42 who snaps them.

A panoramic shot will be taken before every show starts so there will be 3 of each of the Emirates.

Q. Hi Oracle,

I was wondering if on the stadium tour do we get a choice of what colour wristband we are given or are they allocated ? p.s. cant wait for Sunderland!

from Danial.

 

The Oracle replies:

 

The tour may be different (I don't know about that at all) but I'd say it'd be better to go along with what my mother used to say, "you get what you're given", rather than try and ask for a particular one.

Q. Hey Oracle, I saw THIS on the news section and panicked-

Final UK stadium tour tickets released

29 May 2012, 2:58 pm

Last chance to buy tickets for the upcoming shows

 

Does that mean this one is the final tour?!?!?!? or is it just our last chance to buy tickets?

 

The Oracle replies:

 

Fear not Mollie, it just means your last chance to buy tickets. It's not their final tour.

Q. Helloo!

Why not make a DVD at the end of Mylo Xyloto Tour? Like Live 2003!

It would be great to see how the band has changed, and what kind of show has created.

You should just do it, also for Xylobands !! They are f*****g incredible.

 

The Oracle replies:

 

I have no idea why, but every single question sent in by Italian fans this week (there have been a few) have all had swearing them! I have edited by inserting asterisks.

Anyway, to answer your request, you're a little behind the news amico. There IS going to be a live film from the MX tour. We haven't got any details to reveal to you just yet apart from a film is coming. Hoorah!

Oh, it seems like the chances of a London film seems to be dwindling... :(

They keep saying "a film". When someone says "DVD", they say "film". Why ?

perhaps it will play in theaters. :mellow:

^ Please no :sick:

awww, i think it would be cool...

 

in any case, it's probably best for them to call it a film. maybe they'll release it on Blu-ray as well, in which case DVD wouldn't technically be correct. :P

I've seen in some kind of tv show the other day some One Direction fans watching their movie in a theater. No. way. :|

 

But you're right, maybe they plan on releasing on several formats, so DVD would indeed not technically be correct.

it would be best if they could do it some way in which only super hardcore fans could see it in theaters, that way it would be like a totally awesome Coldplay party. :awesome:

Remember last year when they were gonna show Glastonbury in theaters and then canceled it? (I bought tickets for that btw) I think they just may give this a run in theaters.
